This Little Bird Lyrics

This Little Bird 

 Marianne Faithfull 

  

  

 There's a little bird that somebody sends 

 Down to the earth to live on the wind. 

 Borne on the wind and he sleeps on the wind 

 This little bird that somebody sends. 

  

 He's light and fragile and feathered sky blue, 

 So thin and graceful the sun shines through. 

 This little bird who lives on the wind, 

 This little bird that somebody sends. 

  

 He flies so high up in the sky 

 Out of reach of human eye. 

 And the only time that he touches the ground 

 Is when that little bird 

 Is when that little bird 

 Is when that little bird dies
